Adams Electric.

The Adams Electric name goes back to an electrical license first issued in 1982, and the current Washington registration dates to 2005. The state lists Jimmy Adams as a principal since 2005. The state puts the crew at one to three people, so the person doing the work is usually the person who answers for it. Most of the work comes through referrals and repeat customers in Fairfield and the farm towns and rural homes around it, rather than through advertising. That shape suits a homeowner with an older house who needs a repair, a troubleshooting visit or a general check of the wiring, or a small shop or office that wants the same electrician coming back over the years. A large commercial build-out with a big crew and a tight schedule is a different kind of job, and a larger firm is the better match for it. On older Spokane-area homes, the repair-or-replace question usually comes down to what's behind the walls. A single bad outlet or a tired breaker is a repair. Cloth-insulated wiring, an undersized panel that trips under winter heating loads, or a run of patched circuits from past owners points toward replacing a section or the panel itself. Ask the electrician to show you what they found and to price both paths, then weigh how long you plan to stay in the house and whether you're adding loads like a heat pump or a car charger.
